Usnea-jäkälä kokonainen

I wasn't sure what to expect ordering lichen in bulk, but the pieces came whole and clearly intact rather than crumbled to dust. It's genuinely Usnea barbata and the batch looks and smells fresh, so I'll be back for more.

The lichen arrived in clean, intact whole pieces with barely any dust or crumbles in the bag, which tells me it was handled carefully. I've been steeping a small handful for tea, and the pieces hold up well without turning to mush.

The whole Usnea barbata pieces are surprisingly clean, no powdery dust at the bottom of the bag like I've gotten elsewhere. I've been steeping small amounts for tea and the lichen holds its shape well instead of turning to mush.
